GURUGRAM: Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) filed an early hearing petition before Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday. Huda in its petition has appealed for early hearing for vacating stay on allotment of alternative plots to oustees of Northern Peripheral Road (NPR) also known as Dwarka Expressway without proper property documents.
The move is aimed at expediting the completion of Dwarka Expressway. "Application for early hearing filed in a case related to allotment of alternative plots to oustees of NPR with General Power of Attorney (GPA) and special power of attorney (SPA)," said Huda administrator Yashpal Yadav adding that they are hoping to get relief from court.
Earlier in October, the HC had stayed the issuing of allotment letters of alternative plots to oustees of Dwarka Expressway, who do not have proper property documents. Later on November 7, 2016 HC had directed Huda to produce all the original general power of attorney (GPA), special power of attorney (SPA) and agreement to sell on the basis of which names had been included in the draw of lot.
Huda, who claimed to have submitted all the relevant documents in court was hoping to get relief to start the work for completion of remaining portion of expressway. However, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Sudip Ahluwalia on December 12 refused to entertain the plea of urban development body and listed the case for next hearing on March 16, 2017. This had virtually put a brake on the project, as rehabilitation of oustees was essential to complete the e-way.
Huda had allotted 269 alternative plots to the expressway project oustees, including general power of attorney (GPA) and special power of attorney (SPA) holders, through lucky draws in July-August 2016. The oustees were from New Palam Vihar, Kherki Daula and Chauma village. The authority says allottees were chose from a pool of 465 applicants.
Alleging irregularities Satyendra Singh, one of the oustees, had filed a petition in September. He alleged that genuine oustees were denied alternative plots, while allotments of alternative plots were made to GPA and SPA holders. Petitioner had alleged that Huda had made dubious allotment on the name of GPA and SPA.
Taking cognisance of it, the HC had earlier stayed the allotment and directed Huda to submit all the documents related allotment of plots to GPA and SPA. Huda claims alternative plots were allotted to oustees in accordance with the terms and condition of final terms of settlement (FTS) prepared under the supervision of HC and hoping to overcome this legal hurdle to complete the project.
